LOGINCrystal POVNo one responded to my statement.It’s quite the hitch, I’d say, because everyone thought they were ready for the storm because we survived the first one. No one wants to go slow on a ship; we want it swift and heading to our destination and back.I’m tired of the stops. I want to return to looking at the charts on the stock market and not staring at a compass held by a captain of a ship.If this was part of the deal initially, trust me, I wouldn’t have involved Olivia in this. But now that she’s in this, she’s even chosen to go deeper and not return to being a famous writer. She wants to live in a land where they grow good food on water and make rum from corn.Alpha Malone walked us back to our ship, and seeing Olivia in new robes that made her feel like royalty, I knew she wanted this type of life. People bowed as she passed; seeing her close to the alpha, they knew she was the new Luna of the pack."I still think you're making a mistake," I whispered as we stood away fr
Crystal POVI wondered why he looked at me before returning his attention back to the arena. I mean, there’s nothing other than a warning. He wanted me to stay off Crusher because he knows that I might get to uncover a lot of secrets.Crusher has become a person of interest, and with this threat, he doesn’t know that he just made me want to get closer to the truth.“This is advice, there’s a huge difference between the two. Just take my advice and continue on with your journey, get to meet Alpha Jayden, and return back to your lives. The world out here isn’t for young people like you.” He said it like he was trying to have me convinced, so let me pretend to be.I turned my eyes back to the fight and saw Crusher tossing Laris to the other stone wall. Crusher had Laris’s blood all over his body, but Laris only had like three successful attacks on Crusher since the inception of the fight.Laris took another opportunity and then dug his knee through his groin. He tried to use his claw, bu
Crystal POVThe cheers that erupted outside shook the walls of the ship.Olivia and I exchanged glances.“They’re already gathering at the arena,” she muttered.I walked toward the door before pausing. “If you truly decide to stay, promise me something.”“What?”“Don’t lose yourself in this place.”Olivia smiled softly. “Only if you promise to stay alive.”I nodded before leaving the cabin.We got out of the cabin and went to the arena. Everyone was getting ready for the fight because the stakes were high. Either Crusher loses his fight, or Alpha Malone loses the family relative connected to his late wife.The atmosphere was different, and I loved it. She chose to be his breeder in exchange for the title of Luna. She’s always wanted to be like me and have a place to rule as well, and here she has the opportunity. I love it for her.The massive pit where Alpha Kieran fought him before, leading him into the sea, was quite the sight, I’d not deny. Besides, seeing that vultures would retu
Crystal POVAlpha Malone and Olivia are two different people who know nothing about each other, so how are they supposed to coexist in less than a day, let alone think about reproduction? I have to speak to her myself and see what she says.I left Alpha Kieran to return to the room while I went to the ship to find Olivia.“Where’s Olivia?” I asked, as one of the crew members pointed to their cabin. I went in to see her and found her lying on the bed, like she was tired.“What’s wrong with you?” I inquired as she moved further into the bed so I could lie close to her.“I’m exhausted. Why would you put that large amount of wine on the list?” She ran her right hand through the hair that fell on my face.“He made the list, not me…”“Why do I have a feeling that you’re here to talk to me about Alpha Kieran?” Olivia hissed as she got up from her bed.“It’s not about him. Alpha Malone has his eyes on you and wants to make you his wife for the sole aim of being a breeder for him.”“Are you dr
Kieran POVStaying back in this pack comes with a lot of extra work, and I knew Lyra wanted to stay back, but she didn’t like my cut either. It’s healing, but an injury like that takes time to heal, and I don’t have a choice.“Brother, there’s no reason to keep me in here. You want me to fight against someone that you know I’d win against; just let me out, and let’s get this over and done with.”“You ruined my art gallery. You don’t know how much it costs to set up those things. Why do you think I don’t let anyone in there?” Alpha Malone stood in front of his cell and spoke to him, keeping his distance from the silver bars.“He came at me first, and he got lucky.”“I don’t believe your words. If someone like him could save his opponent after drowning him, it shows that he only hurts people when it’s necessary, so I don’t believe you. Stay in here, and tonight you start your fights. If you win three consecutive fights, then you have your freedom.” Alpha Malone heaved a deep sigh and co
Crystal POVI was shocked to open my eyes and find myself alone inside the cave, and the doors were closed, but Kieran was nowhere to be found. Where did he go?I had no answer to that question while running my hands through my hair. The weather was soothing, and it felt like the sun was meant for this room; the rays were what woke me up.I stared at the curtains and realized how thick they were. The reason they were shut was to protect against the rays of the sun, but the left side was moved a bit, hence the ray that was directly fixed on my eyes.I got out of the room and found Alpha Malone with a look on his face. I was surprised to see that everyone was on board the ship, and I was the one they were waiting for.“Why do you have a mask around your face?”“My brother-in-law attacked him in the art gallery, and this is a result of the glass I used to cover my artwork,” Alpha Malone divulged as he turned his masked face towards me.I could see the look in his eyes, but I wasn’t scare
Crystal POVOpening my eyes and feeling the warmth of his arms around me is the best feeling ever. He waited for me to wake up before he stood up from the bed because I could see how he wrapped me in his left arm and used his right hand to press his phone.“You’re awake, my princess. How’s your sle
Crystal POV “I asked a question, and you haven’t answered. Why the pause? Have you had sex with him?”“The contract has its ordeals, and being his woman in all areas is expected of me, so I’d have to sleep with him,” I responded gladly after searching for the right words to say to her. “So you’ve
Kieran POV “Lyra, I must say you’re quite the character. You even denied your name, which makes me wonder how you created that act in your head. You ghosted me for 2 days, and there’s no explanation for it. But if you had asked me for a job, I’d have given you.” I explained it to her, hoping she w
Crystal's POV"And by the way, it's Kieran. No need to be so formal now." He adds with a teasing wink.I want to die. My face is a ball of flames. I swallow hard, my heart pounding so violently against my ribcage I'm afraid it might burst out.Am I perhaps ovulating? Or why the hell is my body rea
